Some people just can’t get enough of indie and alternative rock Christmas songs.
Many of the songs from these playlists are just as much of a discovery for me as
I hope they are for you.

You’re not going to find any of the old AM radio Christmas songs from decades ago(
not that there’s anything wrong with that) on these 12 playlists. There are many
cover versions of traditional Christmas songs. The vast majority of these covers
are from artists that most people have never heard of, including many music enthusiasts.
